Salzgittersee water sports center

Of course, you can also just (sun)bathe. The 1,600-metre-long beach and the excellent water quality ensure unadulterated bathing fun for the whole family. Cyclists, anglers, divers and model boat enthusiasts can also have fun on the lake. The island in Salzgittersee remains largely untouched by these activities and is used for peace and relaxation while walking, the presentation of sculptural works by nationally renowned artists and as a venue for disc golf tournaments of all kinds.

There is also a motorhome parking area at the town's lake, right next to the Stadtbad in the immediate vicinity of the center of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt. The proximity to the water, the wide range of sports and leisure activities on offer and the lake's function as a recreational area are particularly important factors for motorhome owners. The asphalted pitch is equipped with electricity and running water, has wide access roads with good surface drainage and ideal transport connections and offers space for 20 mobile homes.

Bathers at Salzgittersee.

Located on the western outskirts of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt, Salzgittersee has become increasingly important as a local recreation area offering a wide range of leisure activities since it was opened for swimming and water sports in May 1963. At the end of the 1950s, planning considerations for the creation of this artificial lake, which had taken place 20 years earlier as part of the construction of a large housing estate, were resumed. In the years following the start of construction in 1960, the project reached its final size of 75 hectares in 1977.

With its 75 hectares, Salzgittersee is the largest rescue area of the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) in the Braunschweig district.

Regular events at Salzgittersee with a national reputation include the New Year's Eve run, the torchlight swim, the flying days and the dragon boat races.

In addition, Bäder, Sport und Freizeit Salzgitter GmbH (BSF) initiates and coordinates over 70 lake-related events and action days, such as water sports and running events, public viewing and music performances, water skiing and stand-up paddle competitions, raft building and climbing activities and disc golf tournaments.
